==Biography==
==Biography==
Rai-Dei participated in the massacre Roderick Thieves at Jeneorarock and was present for the Gung-Ho Gun roll call. {{Storylink|DEMONS EYE}}


===1998 anime===
Rai-Dei again appeared in in the city of [[Places (anime)|Augusta]] to challenge [[Vash the Stampede (anime)|Vash]] to a fight after killing would-be competitor [[E.G. Mine]]. Rai-Dei was disgusted by Vash's lack of interest in fighting him, but he was also frustrated because if Vash wouldn't fight him, then he couldn't achieve the supposed enlightenment that comes with facing the fear of death. Rai-Dei backed Vash up against a wall and revealed that his ''katana'' also contained a gun by firing a few shots. Vash's Angel Arm then began to activate, due to the control of [[Legato Bluesummers (anime)|Legato]]. This surprised Rai-Dei, and then began to frighten him. He didn't know what is happening and desperately begged for an explanation despite Vash's pleas for him to run away. As a result, Rai-Dei unwittingly ended up getting a front-row seat to the destruction of Augusta. He miraculously survived, only to be shot dead by [[Nicholas D. Wolfwood (anime)|Nicholas D. Wolfwood]] when he tried to appeal to Wolfwood to help him stop Vash (who had disappeared by this time).{{Storylink|FIFTH MOON (episode)|FIFTH MOON}}{{Clear}}
Nothing much is known about Rai-Dei's past, other than the fact that he trained under the masters of the Ito School in their fighting style. In the present day, Rai-Dei the Blade is first introduced with the other [[Gung-Ho Guns (anime)|Gung-Ho Guns]] at [[Places (anime)|Jeneora Rock]]. Later on, he appears in the city of [[Places (anime)|Augusta]] to challenge [[Vash the Stampede (anime)|Vash]] to a fight after killing would-be competitor [[E.G. Mine]]. Rai-Dei is disgusted by Vash's lack of interest in fighting him, but he is also frustrated because if Vash won't fight him, then he can't achieve the supposed enlightenment that comes with facing the fear of death.
